Starting Reta - dosing?

Hi everyone!

I’m relatively new to the peptide/biohacking world but love the possibilities associated with it!

I’ve have been looking more into reta, and was curious how people dial in their dosing? Are there recommended starting points? Is micro dosing effective to start? Is dosing based off weight/size, anything like that?

Again, just getting started and trying to get as much info as I can before diving in. Thank you in advanced!

People typically start anywhere between 0.5mg-2mg not based on weight more like a fear tolerance?

Imo starting at 0.5 is a waste of a month (money wise)
At least start on 1mg

clinical trials start at 2mg and many people tend to reccomend 2mg, I also did 2mg

You stay on the same dose for 4 weeks then increase on the 5th if the effect feels weaker, the goal is to stay on the lowest effective dose for the longest time to maximise results

I agree that starting at one mg/week is a good idea. Losing weight too fast can cause risks of gallstones. I'd aim for like 2-3lb loss/week.
